Hi. You were absolutely right! After converting to SI units, I repeated the problem and got acceleration to be 1.163m/s^2. The velocity turned out to be .835m/s^2. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!
Hello. I've been doing this problem and cannot seem to get the correct answer. I'd really appreciate some help. In the problem, mass1(250g) rests on an inclined plane that is 30 degrees above the horizontal, and whose coefficient for kenetic friction is .1. M1 is attached to a frictionless...
My teacher announced today that the answers in the back of the book are indeed wrong. The answers that I was getting of 425N and 245N turned out to be correct.
Thanks for your help. But, what you said about the answers being less than 508 is exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately the answers in the back of my textbook lists that both values are 508 Newtons. I checked several times that these answers were indeed referring to the correct problem...
Hello. I am starting tension in my physics class and am stuck on a problem. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. It seems really simple: an object of mass 50kg is being held by a string attached to the top of a frictionless inclined plane that is 60 degrees above the horizontal. I...
